Chapter 525 "Wolf Warrior" (Please subscribe for the second update!)
A week later, Tang An signed contracts with the actors in the company, and tried their plays a little bit, and everything was basically fine.

The director team and production department of other roles are also selecting, and Tang An will leave it to them.

After signing the contract, there are still three or four months before the filming. The actors are studying the script, and Tang An has to go to the location in two days.

The location team found two places in Genhe and Mohe respectively, waiting for Tang An to make up his mind.

Iceland has also agreed that the local government is willing to cooperate with the filming of the film, but it has made a request, hoping that one or two Icelandic films can be imported into China.

There are limited quotas for importing domestic films, and as more and more films have a domestic box office exceeding [-] million US dollars, Hollywood filmmakers are also paying more attention to the domestic market, and each quota is extremely precious.

He owed Han Sanping another favor, but it was better than the favors owed to Fox and Columbia.

Other interior scenes have also started to be built, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

In mid-April, Tang An met Wu Jing again.

Like many directors and companies, he came to find investment.

Tang An asked him to sit down, and asked with a smile, "Are you going to make a military-themed movie?"

Wu Jing nodded, "It's been a while since the filming of "Special Forces". I have stayed in the barracks for more than a year, eating and living with the troops. And the longer I stayed in the army, the more I filmed this "Wolf Warriors." "The idea is getting stronger and stronger."

Wu Jing has always had a dream of being a soldier, otherwise he would not have spent time in the army and received regular military training just to make a TV series.

Previously, "Spike Fang" was regarded as a water test. Although there were many flaws, it played a great role in his director level.

When "Special Forces" was filming, he and director Liu Meng often communicated together.

Now, I feel that the conditions are ripe in all aspects, and I am ready to shoot "Wolf Warrior", which has been conceived for a long time.

But nothing can be done without money, even with the support of Nanjing Military Region, there is still a big gap.

Tang An invested in his "Spike Fang", and Hantang Media's publicity and distribution capabilities are also reliable enough.

Although Wu Jing often said that filming "Wolf Warrior" was just to realize his dream, he didn't care whether he could make money at all, even if he went to the theater for a day, it didn't matter.

But how can I not care about it in my heart? Hundreds of people have worked so hard to make a movie for more than a year. In the end, no one will watch it at all. It is sad to think about it.

It may not be for money, but it also needs the approval of others.

Only then did Wu Jing find Tang An again.

Tang An flipped through the script, and it was roughly similar to what he remembered, but it must be revised, after all, there are too many restrictions on military movies.

Putting down the script, Tang An nodded under Wu Jing's expectant gaze, "The script is good, how much investment do you need?"

"About 2700 million for shooting, 1300 million for 3D conversion and post-production, I can pay 1000 million at most, and 300 for the Nanjing Military Region Art Center, and there is still a gap of [-] million." Wu Jing said quickly .

Tang An asked again, "Are you planning to switch to 3D?"

Wu Jing nodded and said, "I think 3D can best express grand war scenes."

"The 1300 million post-production + 3D fee, which company gave the quotation?"

"I found Spotlight Huiying, which was just established this year. The other party just opened their doors, and the quotation they gave was a little cheaper."

Excluding the 600D conversion of 3 million, and the post-production of 700 million, judging from the war scenes and special effects of this movie, it is almost barely enough, only 3D
"The other party didn't say how far the 3D effect can be achieved?"

"They promised that it will definitely be better than those fake 3D, but it is still far behind Tang Dong's "Edge of Tomorrow", but I think it should be enough." Wu Jing said.

Tang An shook his head, "What's the use of promises? You know how much I spent on "Edge of Tomorrow" to convert to 3D. How could it be done well with 600 million yuan?"

Wu Jing remained silent.

Tang An said to the media that the conversion fee was 5000 million. Although he didn't know if it was an accurate figure, but the news he heard on the set, even if it wasn't 5000 million, it must be at least 3000 million.

You get what you pay for, only spending more money can't do good things, and there has never been a thing that can be done more beautifully by spending less money.

The quotation given by the owner of Spotlight Shadow is 3 million yuan for 600D conversion and 700 million yuan for post-production special effects.

600 million is better than 3000 million, and Wu Jing doesn't really believe that 600 million can produce any effect. He just looks forward to the new opening of the other party and urgently needs a movie to make a name for himself. He will do his best to make the movie well.

Tang An looked at his expression, and there was nothing strange about it.

Wu Jing is like many people in the entrepreneurial stage. He has the resources and money. After taking the first step, he can only think of the second step, at most the third step.

But the subsequent fourth and fifth steps have no time to take into account the entire follow-up development. The existing conditions can only allow him to do a good job in the matter at hand, and then think about what to do next.

"Well, let Tiangong Yicai do the special effects. It's equivalent to my own people. I will definitely do it for you. The post-production special effects production is 700 million, but they are busy with my new movie. It's fine to convert it into 3D. If you want to do it well , From the preliminary preparations, at least a team of 800 people will be required for the first half of the year." Tang An said.

"Then do 2D?" Wu Jing said unwillingly.

After watching movies such as "Avatar", "Journey to the Center of the Earth", "Edge of Tomorrow", and "The Martian" on the big screen, you can understand the power of special effects and 3D. In terms of visual effects, it is far from what ordinary 2D movies can achieve. Than.

In particular, he personally participated in the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow" and wanted to make an equally wonderful war movie.

"No, 3D is still necessary. War movies are not good enough without 3D. I don't have extra manpower to convert for you, so let's shoot the real thing. I will take care of the camera. You are responsible for making the movie well, how about it?" Tang An suggested.

"That cost?" Wu Jing hesitated.

"I will fill in as many gaps as there are. For 3D real shooting, the shooting cost will be doubled. In addition, the cycle of war movies must be longer. The minimum production cost is 6000 million yuan, plus 700 million yuan for special effects, which is an integer of 7000 million yuan. , I will pay the remaining 4300 million, and the share will be calculated proportionally."

Wu Jing quickly calculated an account, the production cost of 7000 million, plus the promotion fee of 3000 to [-] million, the cost reached [-] million.

A war movie with an investment of [-] million yuan.
Wu Jing didn't know what to say anymore. He thought it was crazy enough to spend tens of millions to make a war film, and he found several film and television companies who were unwilling to invest.

Unexpectedly, Tang An was even crazier. For the 3D effect, he directly pushed the cost to [-] million.

Although it is unlikely to get back the money, Tang An is willing to make a big contribution, so Wu Jing agreed.

Not everyone has the opportunity to make a blockbuster movie with an investment of over [-] million yuan.

"Thank you Tang Dong. I'll talk to the Nanjing Military Region later and ask for their opinions."

"That's fine, but you have to find a group of professional people for the production team, and I'll send you some people there when the time comes."

3D movies also depend on the ability of the crew, otherwise even the best equipment can produce a pile of rubbish.

The 3D movie "Havoc in Heaven" that is being produced is so heavily invested, with 1700 special effects teams from all over the world, and 8 3D cameras for real shooting. In the end, it was sprayed as S.

The machine is always dead, the person who masters the machine is the most important.

Eight 90s did not still have a large number of wonderful movies.

Xing Hao was also cheated, after all, he was an outsider, and special effects companies like to cheat outsiders the most.

However, the estimated production cost of 7000 million yuan is still not enough, and it will be the best in the later stage. It depends on Wu Jing's ability, as long as he doesn't lose money.
